Rallentando - Guy Sherwin (United Kingdom, 2000, 16mm, 9:00 min)
Accelerating and decelerating rhythms taken from a
train as it enters a station. Sound is adapted from Honneger’s orchestral work
‘Pacific 231’. Rallentando is part of Sherwin’s Train
Films, which he will present during Impakt in the form of a film performance
(see ‘Dopes to Infinity’). Inspired by the movements and parallax effects of
objects appearing to cross each other when viewed from a moving train, as well
as by the parallels between film form and train journeys, these films have
titles which denote specific musical forms; Canon, Stretto, or
instructions; Da Capo, Rallentando.
